At Clare-Gladwin RESD, our occupational therapy team focuses on developing students' visual-motor and eye-hand coordination skills. These skills, which involve the eyes and hands working together to complete tasks, are essential for success and independence in school. We incorporate fun and engaging activities into therapy, making it feel more like play than work while addressing these important skills! #CGRESD #Occupationaltherapy #OurStory

Attention CGRESD and Local District Staff! Please fill out this short survey to help guide the instructional technology offerings at Clare-Gladwin RESD. https://forms.gle/BhVr4vsi11w5zxmk9
Thanks in advance!
Last week, our dedicated Area School staff participated in several engaging training sessions, one of which centered around an inspiring book we'll be reading together throughout the school year. The book is titled "The Energy Bus for Schools," co-authored by Jon Gordon and Dr. Jim Van Allan. Our team truly enjoyed collaborating and learning together during these sessions.
We're also thrilled to share that Area School staff have been awarded a Meemic Foundation grant! This grant includes an invitation to the Annual Cheers for Educators virtual event, featuring author Jon Gordon himself. This opportunity is especially exciting as we'll be working with and learning from his book all year long.
We’re looking forward to a year filled with energy, collaboration, and growth!

As an Occupational Therapist, Chantelle McLean's role is to ensure students have the necessary assistive technology to achieve success and independence in the classroom. One approach she is focusing on this year is providing an adaptive writing paper. Chantelle's goal is to ensure that her students who use this resource feel similar to their peers. They will have notebooks that look similar to their classmates, but inside, they'll have the special paper that supports them in their writing. In doing so, Chantelle is committed to fostering inclusivity and confidence in every student. #CGRESD #OurStory
